We want to provide the same solution on all (or as many as possible)
platforms. We depend on community involvement in this effort as it is
unlikely that any one contributor will be able to provide
implementations for more than a few platforms.

All of this work is being done under the GPL or LGPL.

Currently we have peliminary code for the x86 platforms. This, of
course, implies that we have the core timer and system call code in
place.
